Did you know that interacting with animals has positive effects on your mental health? Studies show that it decreases levels of cortisol – a stress hormone – and lowers blood pressure in our bodies. Animals have also been linked to reducing loneliness, increasing feelings of social support, and boosts in mood! They aren’t just adorable, but healthy for us too! Give your furry family members the tender loving care they need by scheduling a health checkup with us. Give us a call at 778-753-3507.

🐾 Meet Stormy the French Bulldog! 🐾

Yesterday we had the absolute pleasure of seeing sweet Stormy come into the clinic for her surgery. She is one of those dogs who just makes everyone’s day a little brighter! Her squishy little face, those big round eyes, and her adorable Frenchie “snorts” have us all wrapped around her paw. 💖

Our team made sure she had the best care, with plenty of cuddles and gentle words. Stormy was a trooper, and we’re so proud of her! She's resting up and will be ready to be back to her playful self in no time. 💤💕

We love having special patients like Stormy to remind us why we do what we do! 💕

We’re focused on keeping our skills sharp to better assist Dr. Cook, especially when it comes to safe and comfortable blood draws for your pets. By practicing gentle restraint, we make sure pets stay relaxed while keeping everyone safe - doctor, staff, and your pet. Every bit of training helps create a smoother, stress-free experience.

A big thank you to Floss, Elsie, Freya, and George for being such great helpers and letting us practice. We’re so grateful for our clinics staff kids —they help us keep our skills sharp!

Today and every day, we honor the brave men and women who have fought for our freedom, as well as the loyal animals who served alongside them. From service dogs to horses and carrier pigeons, animals have played important roles in times of conflict, showing courage and loyalty. This Remembrance Day, we remember and thank all who have served.

In observance of this day, our clinic will be closed on Saturday, November 9, and Monday, November 11. We will reopen on Tuesday, November 12.

If you have an emergency during our closure, please contact Fairfield Animal Hospital at 250-860-6550 for assistance.

Thank you for your understanding, and may we all take time this weekend to remember those both people and animals who have served.

Its true! Yawning is contagious for dogs as well as humans. Studies have shown that a yawn from you can trigger one from your dog. Even more interesting is that it is four times more likely to happen when the yawn originates from a person your pet knows. Crazy, right? "Good dog" isn't good enough - let's keep them good and healthy! Contact us at 778-753-3507.

An accurate biochemistry profile reveals information about different organs and tissues, helping you understand conditions such as liver disease, diabetes, and kidney disease. Senior dogs often suffer complications as they age, so this is particularly helpful to them. Schedule your pet's annual exam by calling us at 778-753-3507.

Hi, everyone! Elsie here, taking over the clinic’s page to remind my favorite vet tech (yes, my mom) that it's Friday and I'm still here! I’ve watched all my friends head out for the weekend, yet here I am—waiting for her to realize I don’t actually live at the clinic! Don’t get me wrong, I love my fan club here, but I've got weekend plans…mostly naps and treats. Someone let her know, okay? 🐾
